FAQ’s

 

I’m a transfer student and I transferred more than 60 credits to FIU.  But only 60 transfer credits are showing on my SASS report.  Can I get more than the 60 credits into my graduation total?

 

Well, that depends.  Did you complete any upper division work before transferring to FIU or not?

 

Students are allowed to apply a maximum of 60 lower division credits towards their graduation total of 120.  If you only did lower division course work before transferring to FIU, then you “max out” at 60, even if you completed more.

 

Students are allowed to apply additional transfer credits (up to a maximum of 30 additional) if they can show that some of the work they completed before coming to FIU was upper division. 

 

If you think this applies to you, see your advisor.
